iOS: Taking notes on the iPad can be a pretty painful process, but CaptureNotes 2 makes it much easier. Colored flags for different notes, audio recording while you type or write on-screen, photo support, and support for Evernote and Dropbox syncing are all available, perfect for a school-bound student or meeting-bound office worker.

In addition to offering you complete control over the paper type, font, size, and shape of your notes, CaptureNotes also makes it easy to type when that's faster for you and write on-screen when you need to jot down complex equations or symbols. You can highlight or flag text or areas of your notes with your choice of colorful flags, and add photos you've taken with your iPad's camera or imported from PDF documents or your photo library as well.

The app opens up to your "notebooks," which you can organize by topic, class, or whatever else you choose. As you write, you can also record the audio from your class, and keep that audio in time-sync with your written notes. When you're all finished, CaptureNotes can sync your notes to Dropbox or Evernote, whichever you prefer. The app is 80% off in the iTunes App Store right now, and will only set you back $0.99—a small price to pay for a powerful note-taking app.
